A small plane crash in a residential area of Minnesota left two men dead Saturday morning, the Washington County Sheriff’s Department told Fox News Digital. 

The two men were the only people onboard the single-engine Globe GC-1B when it crashed in Afton, Minnesota, a small town just east of Minneapolis around 10 a.m., the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

“Just before 9:45am, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received several 911 calls from neighbors near the 15000 block of Afton Hills Blvd S. reporting what sounded like a small explosion,” the sheriff’s office said.
